Horror Channel brings winter chills
Deep and crisp and bloody! Get ready to be frozen to the bone this November with Horror Channel’s Winter Chills Weekend – featuring some truly snow-filled spine tingling premieres.

The hills are alive –
with undead Nazis as the season kicks off with the premiere of DEAD SNOW (2009), a beautifully nasty
horror comedy directed by Tom Wirkola (Hansel &Gretel Witch Hunters). With a car full of ski equipment and enough beer to fuel their
escape from everyday life, eight medical students head out on their
vacation. Isolated in the snowy
hills the group begin to realise they came to the wrong resort, as deep in the
hills lay an unthinkable evil.

The season continues with
BLOOD RUNS COLD (2011). Swedish director Sonny Laguna
gives the slasher genre a welcome Scandinavian make-over. Record-producer
Winona heads to her hometown on the outskirts of
Stockholm for a
break... Shortly after settling in, she invites a former boyfriend and a couple
to the house. But there is an unknown presence stirring within the house, one
that has been waiting for the right moment to strike.

it stars Val Kilmer as Dr. Krupien
the head of a team of ecology students, who are examining a melting ice cap in
the Arctic. When Krupien unearths a
prehistoric specimen the likes of which has never been seen, he summons four of
his brightest students to take part in the excavation. But the melting polar
ice-cap has released a deadly pre-historic parasite…

Film4 FrightFest honours Greg Nicotero
FrightFest, in partnership with Variety Magazine, are set to present
the inaugural Variety Award at FrightFest to renowned special effects and
make-up artist Greg Nicotero.
Nicotero will be presented with the award on Saturday August 25,
following an on-stage interview at this year’s FrightFest The
13th.
"FrightFest is very proud to be associated with Variety Magazine,”
said FrightFest co-director Ian Rattray. “We feel Greg Nicotero is a perfect
choice to receive this historic award - the first to be given out at a
FrightFest event.”
An acknowledged master of his field Nicotero is an idol of horror
fans with a 30-year career that has seen him work on virtually every major
horror franchise.
"Film4 FrightFest is delighted to welcome back Greg Nicotero,” added
co-director Alan Jones. “Every time we see him his career seems to have taken
another quantum leap and we are thrilled Variety has recognised his contribution
to the genre in both fan and business terms. We love his company as much as his
professionalism and are looking forward to hosting him on this auspicious
occasion.”
One of the founders of KNB Effects Group in 1988, with Howard Berger
and Robert Kurtzman, Nicotero has worked with the great modern filmmakers on
both the big and small screen.
His enduring relationships with directors including Quentin
Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, Wes Craven, Frank Darabont, George A. Romero and
Sam Raimi demonstrates the value top filmmakers place on his
skill.
From “The Pacific,” “Deadwood,” and “The Walking Dead” on television
to features including “Kill Bill,” “Misery,” “The Chronicles Of Narnia: The
Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe,” “Mulholland Drive,” “Sin City” and “The Green
Mile” Nicotero and his studio have consistently supplied some of the most
spectacular and imaginative effects and prosthetics seen on screen over the past
three decades.
